Don't Judge Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 5, 2022

God does not give human beings authority to judge the righteousness of others using our preferences as the standard. None of us are perfectly righteous ourselves. We are in no position to pronounce judgment because we can be guilty of sin.

Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 7:1-6 NIV (Don't Judge) 1 Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no ...read more

Judgment Free Zone

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Jun 27, 2022

Judge Not, That Ye Be Not Judged.

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on May 12, 2022

There are folks who do not care a thing about what the Bible teaches, but they do have favorite scriptures they bring up when it is convenient for them.

There are two verses that we hear about frequently. (1) 1 Timothy 5: 23 seem to be a favorite Scripture for some. Paul had written to Timothy, who had a stomach condition, and he said to him, “Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often ...read more

Rock The Boat! Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on May 20, 2022

To deal with sin in a way that helps people, first you cry, because you care. Then you judge, urging the believing sinner to repent. And if he or she refuses, you purge them from the church.

Dr. Stephen L. Anderson, a professor in Ontario, Canada, had what he called a moment of “startling clarity” a little over 10 years ago. He was teaching a section on ethics in his senior philosophy class, and he needed an “attention-getter”—something to shock his students and force them to take an ...read more

"the Church Is A Bunch Of Hypocrites." Series
